SIR – I watched the Olympic marathon and was overawed by the scenery in Beijing.
No road works or patchwork quilt road repairs, no uneven paving slabs, not a blade of grass out of place, just magnificent buildings and parkland.
When London hosts the 2012 games they will have to get on one of the nine million bicycles that Beijing have and make sure everything is spick and span.
Can London compete and get a gold medal for cleanliness so we British can be proud and say that’s our city, or will we get a rusty old dustbin lid and hang our heads in shame? I hope not.
B COLLEY,
Droitwich.
